Analysis of Pedestrian Crossing Behavior Characteristics Based on Cognitive Psychology

Kunmei Zhang^*, and Anlin Liu

Abstract

From the perspective of psychology, this paper studies the pedestrian crossing behavior and characteristics at the intersection of Nanjing Road and gongqingtuan West Road, aiming to establish a pedestrian crossing cognitive model to analyze the relationship between pedestrian crossing behavior and psychology. This paper mainly uses UAV to collect pedestrian crossing video, and uses kinovea software to extract pedestrian crossing speed and walking track in the video to obtain the behavior characteristics of pedestrians at the intersection. On the basis of certain data, a pedestrian cognitive model is constructed, and the effectiveness of the model is verified by combining the pedestrian crossing behavior and physiological and psychological characteristics with quantitative and qualitative analysis methods. Finally, based on the research on the cognitive psychology of pedestrians crossing the street, the author fully adopts the suggestions of pedestrians in the questionnaire survey to put forward constructive suggestions on the traffic optimization of the intersection from two aspects of pedestrian traffic behavior norms and supporting traffic facilities optimization, so as to provide practical basis for improving road traffic safety.
